Morrissey Show Cut Short After Fan Knocks Him Over, But Not Before Three New Songs Played: Video

Last night, Morrissey opened his North American tour with a performance at San Jose, Calif.'s City National Civic theater. As usual, during the encore, fans rushed the stage to embrace Moz and express their love and devotion. However, one fan took this a bit too far, as as Stereogum reports reports. The fan slammed into Morrissey so intensely that the singer cut the song and the band stopped playing. Watch fan-shot footage below.

TMZ reports that Morrissey was "attacked by a fan" and "knocked to the ground." However, it's difficult to determine the extremity of what actually happened, based on the footage.

Morrissey and his band also performed three songs from his upcoming record World Peace Is None of Your Business, including "The Bullfighter Dies", "Earth Is the Loneliest Planet", and the title track. Watch footage of those below as well. The album is out in July via Harvest/Capitol.
